WP7 XDA app?

Will there be a WP7 XDA app?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

I heard its in the works

I hope so
The Android version of the XDA App is pretty good and so the WP7 version will probably be even better.

XDA app.
I too would love a xda app to call my own. Make it so xda. If you could follow Metro UI that would be better.

Yeah the Android app is okay, hopefully they make one that works and is stable

The WP7 version of the Tapatalk app is being developed here and should be on the marketplace soon
To provide a branded XDA version for free to the community, the cost is €999
Wonder if XDA management are considering this?

Bumping this app from the grave..
*After searching for this thread before posting my own*
Is there really anything regarding an app for XDA?
I feel like i cant do anything without that xda app on my phone and thats probably the only +1 android has over WP7 right now..

A lot of people seem to be using Board Express from Wp7 if I'm not mistaken, don't know what's happening in regards to a dedicated XDA app though

Metro based xda App would rule al

I don't really mind using internet explorer... All I did was pin a shortcut of the page (zoomed into the logo ) on my home screen.

any news on a xda wp7 app?

Just buy Board Express, IMO.
I'll prolly get it in a couple weeks after all these extra charges from getting and returning phones fall off my damn bill.

can you bill your marketplace charges to t-mobile because I don't have that option?
CC only.

Yeah Board Express Pro will definetely do it! But it's a bit laggy though!

Think that's an understatement... Taking 3 seconds just for the "Loading Forum" label to appear after I click the forum is ridiculous... With that being said, it's made a lot of improvements lately, and I've become a fan of it after despising it... I only see it getting better too, the developers seem very dedicated to a quality product.

No need to spend for it. It also has a free version. That's the one I use. Works perfectly fine for my minimal usage needs.

That's true, but it's too limited. If the free version allowed you to use all features with ONE forum, that would make sense, but I guess that would cut into their $999 fees for customization, right? I think that fee is a bit excessive considering TapaTalk is letting them use their forum plug-in to get the app to work (then again, maybe they're paying TapaTalk?).
The XDA App for Android is full featured, just limited to XDA-Developers' forum.

yeah no thanx, it has something like a 60 character limit when posting messages? and you can't reply to PM at all (if i remmeber correctly). no thanx

Microsoft's servers are handling Notifications from everywhere else, so I don't see how that would be an issue. I think just the Messenger by Miyowa probably puts more hurt to their servers than this app would due to how many notifications every user gets.
If they need better servers for notifications, buy it with the cash you make from the app.
And hire a dev to fix these performance issues...

Market refunds

So apparently something I didn't know was that the market changed the refund tikme, while I'm all for giving the devs of apps the money they deserve when they make an app, but if we download an app and it works fine first 30 minutes but gives you issues after we have know way of getting our money back

It was done in the interests of devs in order to prevent people from "renting" games, beating them in less than a day and getting their money back

That was the excuse they gave, but it doesn't explain why they didn't just apply the time limit to games instead of all apps.

That would be a good idea. I don't like the 15 min refund either. Oh well just make sure you hurry and try it out.

I wish they would have informed us. If they did well I missed it. Problem is I bought widget locker. And after using it I didn't like what it did to my phone so I went to go say nevermind I don't want it , couldn't refund so now I'm stuck with it. Meh guess its buyer beware now.
Nothing against devs but I thought that a market is aimed at customers not devs.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

If the market was for devs, there would be no devs. But the big deal is when it takes longer than 15 minutes to download the add on stuff for 3d games.

Reminder: Bill goes up $1.99 on 1/1/12 if you have detailed billing and paper bills

In case any of you wanted to switch to summary or ebill to avoid the $1.99 extra charge...
Login and navigate to:
My Preferences->All about my account->My account info->My bill
Or direct link (it'll preview the URL address so you can make sure it is legit)

Growing more tired of this.

Just so everyone knows, the detailed bill is not the same as the regular bill. The detailed bill lists every phone number you called or texted. You can still receive your regular bill for free.

Detailed billing doesn't list the numbers you texted, just the calls (incoming/outgoing).
"Regular" really depends on your point of reference.
What you are describing as the regular bill is also called the summary bill.
From the Sprint blurb, even if you choose summary (paper bill), the detailed billing is still supposed to be available online.

good looking

Thanks!

Doesn't really bother me because I get ebills anyway. Dumb move by Sprint though, I can guarantee they get sued for this. Charging customers for paper copies of their bills is a big no-no. Sprint must be operating in the red.

Hahaha this and every one esle who is having a hay day with a $1.99 is hilarious in my book. Thats the equivalent of buying a cup of coffee once a month. Besides Sprint is by far the best deal around money wise. Also is the last of the big 4 that has unlimited data. It will be ok boys and girls

I've set up ebill about 4 times in the last 6 years -- somehow it keeps defaulting back to paper, which is annoying all by itself. Thanks for the heads up so I can avoid the charge and the paper!

That unlimited ship has sailed. 4GB is equivalent to unlimited for many people. Plus it works.

No, they don't.
Roaming data? Yes, that's different as Sprint has to pay that network's owner for the usage.

I have definitely seen people booted for using 30 gb. Which is ridiculous when they have an 8gb card in their evo and try to say they weren't tethered.

I promise you that in network usage wasn't the reason
Now, if they were torrenting illegal downloads or excessive roaming that would explain it.

Not really going to affect me. Been eBill for eons now (and on all bills i have mostly) so that's that.
Still a cheap move. They need new revenue streams I guess.

Verizon just announced they are going to do a similar thing with bills. Not price collusion at all (r/sarcasm)

They should be offering 2 bucks OFF, or even 1 dollar OFF whoever goes to e-billing to give an incentive to move off paper, Geico does this and other companies do it too.

need for speed most wanted app

The game isn't free? I downloaded it and then I couldn't play any more level and in the menu it says "Unlock Full Version" for $6.

Bump

only 3 levels are free

I think the game is free because when I tried to purchase the game while I was in the game, it did not charge me. It will say it will cost $6 but no where does it ask for your cc info or goto the market store to purchase.

check you phone bill in the part of download, you will see 6.99 for next bill

I doubt it because it shouldn't be tied to our bill and its not listed under recent activity in my account. Maybe it is free after all since its suppose to be free when buying the note II.

I paid for the game when it first was released way before the sale. The haha is that $7 is money to you. For real if that money hurts your pocket you must be a youngster.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

Not that $7 bucks is a lot, but paying double or even more than what was available is funny because it's sort of dumb. It's like if I go to a restaurant, eat, pay and order again but leave the food on the table.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

It did not cost that much on the play store when I bought it. Where is you logic boy? So buying something at the original price is dumb? So I should wait until things I want to buy go on sale? Goodluck with that logic. Oh and haha cause you bought the note 2 and down the road someone will have purchased it for less. Idiot.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

You know what? You're absolutely right. I am an absolute idiot. In fact, I may be in in bred. You know us American Hicks, buying expensive as heck phones and not having money to buy apps. Logic? Is that the doo-hooki that makes you type in a fancy name and security word? Meh never heard of logic.
I don't get why you got so defensive because I wrote 'haha'. I wasn't rude, I wasn't offensive and if you took offense to my original comment, then you have some serious issues and you're probably one of those boyfriends that end up on the news for beating his girl cause she said hi to a guy, and if you're a girl, then you're probably ratchet.
If you can't take a simple non offense comment for what it is, then seriously get off the Internet.

I came here to make a point and ask a question regarding upgrades to the tmobile version of NFS. your response was not helpful yet very childish. I don't take offense but you have been a member since 2009 so you should know better. your analogy was so way off that I had to respond a second time. take a look at how many posts i have vs how long i have been on here. Only recently have I decided to post in response to Posts that are BS. why would i get mad? because i get an email when someone responds to a subscribed post and when all i see is "haha" it just shows how MODs and owners of this site have let it go to hell. Just so no one else has to read this, i will not respond but if you really have something to say Pm me. oh btw I am a 43 yr old male that yes would smack the **** out of a little kid that showed disrespect. have a good day!

Hey gramps, would you prefered if I had wrote 'lol'? Does that make it friendlier? Like I said, my comment wasn't hostile in any way shape or form, and if you took offense then get off the Internet cause the Internet is serious business. Such a shame that the world as degraded to the point that "haha" basically means the same as "**** you" because I always thought haha meant lol.

I haven't had a need for a security app yet. Has Lookout prevented anything malicious for you?

Don't waste the battery and cpu cycles on something that quite frankly is borderline worthless. The trust thing is ironic. You will trust an app you didnt write to protect you from other apps you didnt write

Avast for lost/stolen device tracking, allows device disable if the SIM is changed. Also allows you to lock, unlock, wipe, sound alarm by SMS. Hopefully I never need to use it.
From what i understand any perceived need for antivirus/malware scanning will disappear with 4.2 and the new Play Store.

Antivirus apps are pointless.
For lost/stolen I've been loving SeekDroid for a while now. Very nice app and works with out fail any time I test it.

Search for pdroid !
Btw antivirus = gimmick nothing else !

That's a good app I used to use it but it gets owned by cerberus. Try that it has way more features for a one time 3.99 fee. U can test free for a week.

+1 for seekdroid. Got it for free from Amazon a while ago but have found that its pretty good. Haven't had to 'test' it for real just yet but gives me a bit of piece of mind.
Reality is that if your phone is stolen, likelihood of getting it back is pretty slim. For me, real important part would be able to wipe my data to protect myself from anything more than losing a couple hundred bucks on a device.

None, I don't believe in them. If my phone gets lost or stolen then that's that, little can be done afterwards. Police often times wont help and knocking on the persons door and demanding the phone will get you nowhere except property trespassing. Even then, I doubt my offender would want to use any of my information stored on my phone. Any smart thief would know to wipe the phone clean to avoid any of these apps which don't do much. As far a viruses go, really? The only reason anti-virus apps where made was to satisfy the needs of the paranoid, lets leave it at that.

I was mainly speaking of anti theft app, and not to get the phone back, but yes to wipe everything!

cerebus. it's great. went to the washroom and left my phone in my meeting room. i come back and check my email and there's a photo of my co-worker trying to punch in the wrong PIN code. lol.

I dont have one installed right now, but when I do it's Lookout. I have had lookout stop installation for an app before, I was sideloading it. I dont keep one installed for normal use of the phone and Play Store, but if I was going to be sideloading apps again I would use it for that.

Cerberus is by far the best security app I've used.
